Sinopsis

Conventionally, 'absolutism' in early-modern Europe has suggested unfettered autocracy and despotism. Recently historians have questioned such comfortably simplistic views. This lively investigation of 'absolutism' in action xxx, continent-wide but centred on a detailed comparison of France and England xxx, dissolves the traditional picture to reveal a much more complex reality, and in so doing illuminates the varied ways in which early-modern Europe was governed.
